Key Players on Favorites in All Five Classes

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Coming into the season, it was clear that Valor Prep, Eagleville and Briarcrest Christian had great chances to win more state championships in the respective divisions.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>But Division I-AAA and Division II-A could have first-time state champions. Franklin is the favorite in Division I-AAA, but Arlington, Collierville, Science Hill and even Nolensville or Summit could have a say in that before the dust settles. In Division II-A, Franklin Road Academy has the highest rating, but Providence Christian, Goodpasture or even Silverdale Academy could also challenge for the crown.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["946580"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ac3119e3b175"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Fogle brings a diverse skill set to the Admirals with her 118-inch approach touch.
